VMware Carbon Black Cloud Enterprise EDR Specialist — Question 54

An existing vSAN OSA cluster has this specification:
Four ESXi hosts with all flash configuration

Each with two disk groups -
Each disk group with one cache device and four capacity devices
There are five more device slots available per host
The CTO would like to provision new applications, and these will need more capacity and performance.
Which two methods should be used by the vSAN administrator to meet this goal with the least amount of impact? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Replacing all capacity devices with a similar larger device
• B. Replacing all cache devices with a larger device
• C. Adding one more disk group per host with the same configuration
• D. Adding faster cache devices
• E. Adding an ESXi host with identical device configuration

Correct answer: C, E

Explanation

The correct answers are C and E because adding another disk group per host increases capacity and performance without affecting existing configurations, and adding an ESXi host with the same device configuration scales the cluster effectively. Options A and B do not expand the overall capacity or performance as they only replace existing devices with larger ones, while D may improve performance but does not provide additional capacity.
